My eyes appear too far apart. Can surgery change this?

Hard to say without seeing your photo. Some people have remarked that actress Michelle Pfeiffer eyes are wide set or far apart. Then there are people who have hypertelorism, a developmental condition, at times associated with other anomalies, in which the eyes and bony sockets are far apart. Surgery is useful for treating hypertelorism, but this is usually performed in university centers by craniofacial surgeons, plastic surgery subspecialists who treat these issues on a regular basis. To get more information in your particular case, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Without seeing you, it is difficult to say. However there are surgical eye treatments that can help the face become more symmetrical. Please consult with a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon to get the best evaluation of your surgical needs.

Hi. It will be interesting to have a glimpse of your nose. Sometimes if the bridge is too low the eyes look separated.
